Dover Score of Bruckner 4&7 - Haas, September 17, 2006
This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 4 and 7 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
I conducted 7th Symphony last week. Make sure you know the differences of Haas and Nowak. Even the Kalmus parts we had, supposed to be Haas, had some differences, most notably for example in the 1st movement bars 125-130, where Dover has many brass doublings and Kalmus only 2 horns and tuba only in bars 127-130. Also many tempo markings are missing in Dover, mostly Ruhig and belebend stuff.
If you correct these, you have a great book - big print, good paper and durable binding.

perfectly accurate, August 16, 2004
This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 4 and 7 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
this is really a great score. i use it to practice conducting and just to read along with while listening to these symphonies. the fiery rhythms and transcending beauty really come out when you read the score, even more so than when you listen to it without reading. you really notice things that you didn't even know were happening and it gives you a chance to critique the recording you are listening to according to what is written down. i highly recommend this for any clssical music lover, especially if you are, like me, an avid bruckner fan.

Great buy., February 17, 2009
This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 4 and 7 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
Excellent deal. Haas Edition. Haas was Bruckner's editor. Bruckner 4 is the edition with Bruckner's autograph, not the confusing first edition. Bruckner 7 Adagio does not include cymbal and triangle. There is an explanation, including a picture of small part of facsimile of the addition to the 'original' score. For Bruckner, additions/amendments were aplenty so we really don't know what he wanted. Bruckner okayed many additions/diminutions because he didn't trust himself and he wanted to speed up the publishing process.
As for Dover, as usual, the print is very clear. Here there is lots of space to write and I like the number of bars per page, easy to follow phrasing/melodic line. Bar numbers and rehearsal numbers included. dictionary of German definitions included in the front.
